Data Roundtable - The Blueprint for Legal & Governance

Is your governance an enabler or a bottleneck?

In many organisations, the relationship between Data/Marketing teams and Legal/Security is one of friction. Innovation slows down because compliance is seen as the "Department of No."

But in the modern data landscape, trust is your most valuable currency.

If your architecture isn't built to handle consent management, data lineage, and the "Right to be Forgotten" natively, you aren't just risking a fine, you are building technical debt. In this session, we will discuss how to flip the script: moving from reactive compliance to proactive Governance Engineering, where the architecture itself enforces the rules, freeing up teams to innovate safely.

This roundtable is part of The Blueprint Sessions, a series of peer discussions on designing a future-proof customer data architecture.

Data ownership is not only a technical challenge, it is a legal and governance one.

Too often, privacy, security, and compliance are addressed after data architectures are already in place, leading to risk, rework, and a loss of trust.

This session focuses on designing a privacy-by-design customer data architecture, where governance, transparency, and security are built into the foundation—not bolted on as an afterthought.

What's on the table?

We will move beyond high-level strategy and look at the structural realities of delivering great CX.

Data ownership and accountability models: Defining clear roles for who owns the data, who manages it, and who is allowed to break it.
GDPR, consent and transparency: How to integrate consent management platforms (CMPs) deeply into your modern data stack (Warehouse & CDP).
Aligning perspectives: Breaking the silos between Legal, IT, and Marketing to create a shared language for data usage.
Security considerations: Best practices for encryption, hashing, and access control within customer data pipelines.
Governance without blocking innovation: How to create "guardrails" that keep data safe without stifling agility or speed.

Who is this for?

This session is curated for decision-makers who bridge the gap between technical data and business value:

DPOs (Data Protection Officers) & Legal Counsel seeking to understand the technical reality of data stacks.
CISOs & CIOs responsible for data security and architecture.
Marketing Directors who want to ensure their campaigns are built on a compliant, future-proof foundation.
